This Tory MP’s attempt to appear a fully paid-up member of the human race is already magnificently cringeworthy – and then comes the payoff

Great side. I remember the classic match when Wimborne Town beat Derby United (my team) by an innings in the final frame at Twickenham. https://t.co/Tv9CTM8G7C

what’s fascinating about his painful exchange is how an exchange at the very end betrays a mindset of constant conflict & reality inversion; Kay Burley, rightly, says a one-all draw isn’t lots of goals & Michael Tomlinson *disagrees* pic.twitter.com/7VoLwsc27E

It didn’t end there, unfortunately for Tomlinson.
Watch Kay Burley destroy immigration minister Michael Tomlinson.
MT: Let me give you an example. Albania.
KB: I know. You guys tell me every day.
MT: You’re right to cite Albania.
KB: I didn’t. You did.
MT: Well you said that we’d said it.
KB: It’s nothing to do with Rwanda. ~AA pic.twitter.com/jOgszjEhd7— Best for Britain (@BestForBritain) January 17, 2024
And it wasn’t the immigration minister’s only media appearance of the day.
Immigration minister Michael Tomlinson, again in trouble on #r4today.
MT: “The PM is crystal clear that he will not let a foreign court get in the way.”
MH: “You know it’s not a foreign court.”
MT: “It’s based in Strasbourg.”
MH: “It’s an international court.” ~AA #RwandaBill pic.twitter.com/VbTyDkFWkI— Best for Britain (@BestForBritain) January 17, 2024
Take the rest of the day off, minister. Maybe watch a bit of telly. Mr Bates vs The Post Office?
A final thought, from @Otto_English.
I actually feel some sympathy for politicians caught in this situation. I don't think we should expect them to have a football team or watch box sets to prove they're 'normals' – all we should want them to do is govern effectively for the benefit of the country. https://t.co/Yo7FvKD6lL

And this!
This is what sets @kayburley apart. She’s so quick and whip smart that she drags interviewees further and further away from their comfort zone until they forget their media training and start talking the most supreme rubbish. Also, it’s very very funny. https://t.co/QOYWj7ec8w
